SAFETY HARNESS FOR POISON BOTTLES.

Application filed March 7, 1%27. Serial No. 173,293.

This invention relates to improvements in safety harnesses for poison bottles, and more particularly to aeasing, or sheath, into which a bottle may be introduced and which furnishes acautioning, .or warning signal of the nature of the bottle content.

Among the objects of my invention is to provide a warning and protective casing, which may be fitted to bottles of dii'l'erent shapes and capacities, and to constitute therefor a complete envelope for the bottle proper readily distinguishable, by touch or sight from the bottle itself.

My improvements consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts, as hereinafter fully, clearly and concisely described, definitely pointed out in my claims and illustrated by the accompanying drawing (1 sheet) in which- Fig. 1, is a perspective view of a bottle as sheathed with a device of my invention.

Fig. 2, is a perspective View of the device of my invention in inverted position with respect to the showing of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3, is a vertical sectional elevation of the device'itself.

Fig. l, is a sectional plan View of the device as taken on the line indicated l-4 of Fig. 3.

Referring more specifically to the drawing A designates, generally, the device of my invention, which is constructed as a tubiform of elastic material, such as rubber, and which, preferably and, in the form shown, comprises a reinforce which consists of circular bands 5 and 6 forming the ends of the tubiform body, and "ibs 7 formed lengthwise of the tubiform body and relatively laterally spaced. Said circular bands, by preference and as shown having different diametrical dimensions whereby to provide for placement upon bottles having different sized necks.

Between the ribs 7 and extending from one band (5) to the other (band 6) arethe webs 8 which are relatively thin and highly elastic whereby to readily conform to a bottle regardless of its sectional contour. As shown there is formed in one of the webs 8, a. slit 9 which extends preferably the full length thereof, that is continuously from one of the circular bands to the other and which provides for the facile introduction of the bottle which is inserted bodily through the slit and with its .neck extended through one or the other of the bands after which the harness, or sheath, is drawn about the bottle body to the extent of bringing the mar gins of the slit substantially together as shown in Fig. 1.

lhe device is preferably constructed as an integral unit, of rubber, and as molding.

Obviously by reason of the material and the extreme thinness thereof the webs are easily cut whereby an opening may be formed therethrough by a knife or scissors, and at any point therein for the purpose of exposing a label, such as the opening 10, as shown in Fig. 1.

I claim:

1. A safety harness for bottles, constructed as a tubiform of elastic matcrial ha-ving an opening in one of its ends for encircling a bottle top and a slit within its length spaced away from said opening, said slit being sufficiently long to permit the insertion of a bottletherethrough.

2. A safety harness for bottles, constructed as a tubiform of elastic material having an opening in one of its ends for encircling a bottle top and a slit within its length spaced away from said opening, said slit being sufliciently long to permit the insertion of a bottle therethrough, and a reinforce for said opening.

an harness for bottles constructed as a unit of elastic material and comprising a reinforce consisting of a band at each end of the harness and ribs extending between the bands and relatively thin webs between each pair of ribs and extending from one of the bands to the other, said harness being open within said bands and there being a slitin one of said webs of sufiicient length to permit insertion of a bottle therethrough.

4. A harness for bottles constructed as a unit of elastic material and comprising a reinforce consisting of a band at each end of the harness and ribs extending between the bands, and relatively thin webs between each pair of ribs extending from one of the bands to the other, said harness being open within said bands and there being a ELI J.
